My Favorite Man is Now My Age

Sorry for the lapse folks.  We headed to the mid-west for the past 10 days to see family.  Had a great time, but there's some blogging make up to do before we cover that.

My handsome hubby had a b-day before we left town, which means he's the same age as his bride.  He appreciates those 6 months of being the baby in the relationship.  We tend to spoil each other for our birthdays (sometimes a bit too much perhaps).  This year I hired a babysitter all day Saturday, we loaded up a backpack, put on our hiking shoes, drove 2 hours and did a 7 mile hike.  Just us.  No little legs or whining mouths.  I can't remember the last official hike we did, so this was a breath of fresh air.  Literally.  We never fail to be in awe of the beauty we live so close to.  This hike was up past Boulder and ended at Blue Lake. We passed over multiple rivers, streams, smaller lakes and tons of thick woods.  It was awesome.  Our total exhaustion showed the fact that we're not 21.  Rather pathetic, but we embrace it.  We stopped at Chautauqua on Boulder on our way home for a fabulous happy hour on the massive wrap-around porch.  If you need a romantic, unique spot for a meal, head there friends.  You won't regret it.  

 This was the final destination of the hike.  The lake was still covered in glaciers.  

 Hey look - it's me.  Sometimes I make the blog.  

We hiked to the top of that mountain.  Rather impressive when you really look at it huh?  Well, we thought it was.

Tim tested out his new golf clubs with some of his dudes on his actual birthday and we ended the day with a fam picnic.  Oh..not to mention his trip up to Blackhawk for a night of man gambling on Friday night.  We love our Tim is a big big way.  I think he felt it that weekend.
